Sheer Bliss

There is definitely a fine line between trashy and flashy when it comes to wearing sheers. And you shouldn’t depend on sheer luck to get this right.

Designer Olivier Rousteing of Balmain who btw believes in 'if you have it, take pride in it by flaunting it', served lot of sexy during fashion week with peekaboo and sheer cutouts in his outfits inspired according to him by Riri’s share top at his fall after party.

You’d be surprised how much an investment in a sheer top will pay off. It can literally become a closet staple working very well with many other pieces.Throw it over a cami with leggings and strappy sandals for a night out, over a body con dress for that light summery yet edgy look. Tied in front over slouchy boyfriend jeans for drinks out with friends. And if you’re feeling a little conscious a sheer wrap over your corset/bustier top is just what the doctor ordered. Throw a sheer dress over some high waited shorts and cami. Dress it up with wedges or sandals for day time and carry it over to night time with a pair of pumps and a clutch. Sheer midriffs are sexy as well as edgy.
Nothing says chic and dainty more than layers of cascading sheer fabric in an outfit. Its a winner in the form of bell sleeves, a train or even a skirt. To get your feet wet with sheers, you can go for the outfits with sheer backs, shoulders and or midriffs.

It doesn’t get any more royal than this sheer shoulder, arms and back, blue lace, mock turtle neck extraordinarily detailed evening dress. I say it most def. straddles that fine line between couture and ready to wear. Layers of tulle added volume to the waist. Panels of luxurious tulle that stayed behind long after you made your exit (LOL) most definitely gave it that wow factor. It ticks all the boxes of pretty and there's not a lot not to like. Sheer Bliss for sure!
